The Canadiens are on the verge of clinching a playoff spot for the second straight season.

On this Hockey Inside/Out Show bonus episode, The Gazette’s Stu Cowan is joined by former Canadiens teammates and 1986 Stanley Cup champions Chris Nilan and Rick Green to discuss which team the Canadiens would match up best with in the first round of the playoffs.

Is it the Tampa Bay Lightning, Buffalo Sabres or Carolina Hurricanes, who are all potential opponents?

We’ll have two more bonus episodes coming up over the next few days and will be back with our weekly Hockey Inside/Out Show on Wednesday.
